Koutsi97,

What age group / skill level is this plan for? Curious to know before I can put it into context….

The international SISEC midget team trains just outside of the city on a bedroom town (Cochrane). They train a ton! Not sure how periodized it is… here is a general plan: (all practices on-ice unless noted.)

Fri / Sat / Sun games. One of these days is sometimes off (but includes travel as they drive from Kelowna and Penticton BC to Banff AB, to Cochrane AB and Calgary AB. Some tourney's too…)

Mon 7-8 am; 11 am – 12 pm (with me); 4-5 pm; 515-615 pm off-ice
Tues 7-8 am; 4-5 pm
Wed 7-8 am; 4-5 pm; 515-615 pm off-ice
Thurs 7-8 am; 9-10 am (with me); 4-5 pm

Crazy schedule. They might have changed it a bit since the start of the season- as they only have about 17 players this year (including 3 goalies) and several are hurt. Some are chronic; some acute. I think overtraining could be an issue / cause here. (But I don't know exactly "what" they do or "when" – all I know is the kids often seem tired.)

Finally, your avatar appears to be a big yellow lion… but my failing eyesight can detect a very tiny beer (or is that vodka?) in it's hand… you should see if you can come up with a bigger beer avatar!
